Developer

Thank you!

Great game, I'm impressed by how polished it it. It took me some time get know that you had to  unequip the item to upgrade it. I also love how you get different item's later in the game.

Developer

Thanks. There is so much I want to include in the future.

Loved how the game looked! The audio was great too. It did get a little numb after a while when there wasnt much more to do but it was still fun and it fits the theme well. Nice work :D

Developer

Thank you! Yes the systems need more time in the oven.

Also echoing it was a bit tough to understand what was going on, but I think I eventually understood equipping items. Fun to watch for a bit. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. I will work on this for the future.

The graphics are great for an idle game I've played recently — good job!d(゚∀゚d)

Developer

Thank you for the note!

Fun Idle loopiong game to play! I agree with what others say about equipment, stats and UX.

Developer

I appreciate the feedback!

I had a good time for a while, the loop of levelling up items while keeping an eye on the inventory for upgrades was quite satisfying.

I found it wasn't all that interesting to look at the loop after 20 or so rotations so missed what lead to my eventual death. Maybe adding stat bars near where the player will be most active (the inventory) would help track those things?

Developer

For sure, good suggestions! Thank you for the feedback.

Quite nice and satisfying idle looping but gear management part is a bit of a mess. Clutter of stats, iffy UX, hard to quicly understand if items is good or not. It has potential and is quite relaxing to run on idle but simplicity here would probably have worked better. Anyway, great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I will work on these elements for a future update after the jam voting.

A very cool iead ! I had some trouble understanding how to equip my stuff and what effect would have any piece of equipment

Developer

Thank you. As I work on this game for a future release, I need to expand on the effect and overall game systems.

This was a simple and fun game. It took a bit to figure everything out. The UI feels a bit scattered, and blended with the background somewhat. It might help if there was a bit more contrast to draw the eye to the key buttons. The main one for me was equip. The item image pops up at the bottom drawing the eye, while the small green icon for equipping is too close in color to the blue background and too closely positioned to where so much else is happening, that I missed it for a while.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for sticking to it and figuring it out. I need to improve these elements as you suggested.

A lot going on, played a little slow on my browser, but I loved what you made, I added it to my collection to play it some more! 

Developer

Thank you. I need to work on performance more. I know it struggles on my laptop but not my main tower PC. Hoping it brings you more joy in the future.

didnt really understand what was happenning but still found myself chilling while watching the game go

Submitted(+1)

oh i missed the how to play text in the bottom, now its even cooler. watching the character beating those big enemies is realy relaxing

Developer

Thanks for sticking to it and figuring it out =).

Developer

I agree, I need to make certain elements more noticeable for the player. 

Submitted(+1)

Couldn't quite figure out what to do except of equiping gear and upgrading it but reached some levels nonetheless. The graphics are fitting for the game. It's actually quite relaxing to watch the guy running around and beat the enemies.

Developer

I appreciate the feedback. The game is scoped just for what you described. I want to expand it and make it a full released game in the near future.
